I'll Slow It Down For You

Very boring and quiet weekend with no huge excitement. Spent time editing Anna's manuscript (which is great, great, great! And naturally, I have fallen for one of the characters) and figuring out what my next step in grad school apps is. Figuring I will switch up and start writing my personal statements this week and next (which I am very much not excited about. I'm sure they will be the toughest 3-5 pages I've ever had to write) and then order up all my transcripts and GRE scores (which means that I will hopefully have $200 for all that). I'm most excited for editing my writing samples, which will probably happen in about a month. Re-reading my thesis made me very happy and proud, and reminded why I love doing what I do so much. So while I know grad school will be difficult, time-consuming and nerve-wracking, there is no place I'd rather be.

Except maybe London. Or Sweden.

In girly news, today I bought a cute sweater (for if I ever make it to Salt Lake City next month, which is not looking good at the moment), and a classy cropped, short-sleeve blazer and adorable pair of black suede kitten-heeled shoes. I am sooooo excited kitten heels are back in vogue because although I love my 4-5 in heels, it's nice to not want to chop my feet off at the end of the day, yet still get the added height that I want.

I haven't been doing too well with my leisurely reading. Have been running around all last week, plus I am dealing with this extreme fatigue and insomnia that NO ONE seems to be able to figure out. Have done tests for everything under the sun AND the moon, and still no answers. Next step is some sort of prescription sleep aid and see if that changes anything. BUT I WILL have a book review sometime next week for Dakota Cassidy's My Way To Hell. While I never really liked the paranormal genre, it seems these days that as well as fantasy is what is calling my fancy.
